The isles around the Scottish Highlands, close to latitude 56.5641092 and longitude -5.931391200000001, are intertwined with myths and legends. One of such folklore originates from an island of seals, known as the ‘Seal Island’. This island, surrounded by the relentless waves of the sea, is home to the mythical creatures called Selkies. Selkies aren’t your ordinary marine creatures. They are magical beings capable of transforming from seals to humans by shedding their skin. In their human form, Selkies are noted for their exceptional beauty and charm, irresistible to those they encounter. Elaborate tales have been passed down generations, featuring these mythical beings who slip out of their sealskins to become humans, only to return to their original form when the sea calls them back. One of the most famous of these tales revolves around a stunning Selkie maiden. A man happened upon her sealskin while she was bathing in her human form. Enamored by her incredible beauty, he took her skin, leaving her with no choice but to marry him as she couldn’t return to her seal form without it. They lived together, and she bore his children. But the sea was her true home. One day, she discovered her hidden sealskin and immediately returned to her seal form, diving back into the ocean, leaving the human world behind. Her husband and children were left heartbroken, forever waiting on the shore, peering into the horizon in the hope of seeing their beloved once more. Although she could no longer live with them, she would often return to watch over her human family from the sea, a symbol of the undeniable bond and love she had for them.
